Prepared

My wife in all of her  wisdom has given me a back pack with survival supplies. It has food and duct tape and  a blanket and a knife and even water proof matches. That is just a few of the items in the back pack. She does not want me to be left stranded out here working with no resources..Its funny how wives fuss and over little things, but most of  us know that it is the little things that make a difference in our lives. If I get stranded out here and have to make my way home on foot, I will need that back pack with supplies to get home. Then that little thing becomes a big thing.

John chap 21 vs 15-23:

Jesus Reinstates Peter 15When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?” “Yes, Lord,” he said, “you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Feed my lambs.” 16Again Jesus said, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” He answered, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Take care of my sheep.” 17The third time he said to him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, “Do you love me?” He said, “Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Feed my sheep. 18Very truly I tell you, when you were younger you dressed yourself and went where you wanted; but when you are old you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go.” 19Jesus said this to indicate the kind of death by which Peter would glorify God. Then he said to him, “Follow me!” 20Peter turned and saw that the disciple whom Jesus loved was following them. (This was the one who had leaned back against Jesus at the supper and had said, “Lord, who is going to betray you?”) 21When Peter saw him, he asked, “Lord, what about him?” 22Jesus answered, “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you? You must follow me.” 23Because of this, the rumor spread among the believers that this disciple would not die. But Jesus did not say that he would not die; he only said, “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you?” A few days ago, I was awakened, when this occurs I pray. The truck was parked for  a change and what should have been a good nights sleep turned into a time of struggle and prayer. My mind was clouded with my own thoughts and prayers. It was a fight to put my own thoughts down and pray and listen to the voice of God. At times it sounds like my own voice. I needed to be sure and put aside my own feelings and desires and do my best to listen what the Spirit of the Lord wanted me to hear.  Several things have happened since then to re-enforce what the Lord wanted me to understand and know I watched  a video about the writing of the national anthem. It was eye opening and heart breaking. Many brave American men died that night to make sure the flag stood. At the end of the night, the flag was leaning but still standing, it was being held up by the bodies of the men who died holding the flag up. These men were Americans and Christians and they died standing for their beliefs against a tyrant, who simply wanted to control us and tell us what we could or could not do.  Out of this battle and others came a great country and this country was blessed by the Lord, His great hand of protection has kept us safe from enemies from the outside and from the inside. Some of us grew up in the 60s and it was then we saw the changes starting to take root in our society. These forces of evil has taken great care and thought about how to remove the Christian Faith from society, The courts have slowly removed any act of Christianity from most aspects of society, What we use to call  Christmas vacation is now called winter break and what we use to call Easter vacation is now called spring  break, Malls now say happy holidays instead of Merry Christmas. Public prayer is not allowed in public schools. The homosexuals now have legalized marriage and are corrupting churches with their evil agenda. If you have enough courage to attend or view a video of a " gay pride" parade, You will observe not only homosexual activities and other unnatural sex acts. Colleges at one time were meant to be institution for learning and the promoting of truth, have turned their backs on truth and settle for political correctness. So now they would rather believe the lie then the truth. Lord help you if you are a Christian who stands up against homosexuality in these places. You are called a bigot and if it were the 3rd century they would stone you to death. For over 50  years the attack on Christianity and the churches has gone on without ceasing, its now at the point that we either accept sin or find  your local church doors closed. In Canada if you speak out against homosexuality you face jail and fines. This is on the verge of happening here, The President of the United States is a muslim and has allowed the muslims to flood into this country by the thousands. In Paris France there are muslims gangs terrorizing the population, Hollywood actors want to remove guns from our homes leaving us no protection.  Many of us have said openly that these muslims are here  as the Presidents invading army to kill as many Americans as they can. In all of this and more the Lord has kept his hand upon our once great country. Today Hillary Clinton was told she would not be indicted for breaking the law. Most of us would have been arrested and put in jail. The men and women who represent us have done nothing and will continue to do nothing. The evil that has invaded our country has just about taken over. The evil is the fabric of our society to the people who are making , and enforcing the laws. Common sense has gone out the window. This why the Lord destroyed the earth and had Noah built an ark, and this is why God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah If God could have found  ten righteous men in the city., the city would have been spared.  So ask yourself how much longer are we going to be spared? The answer is  not much longer. A time of great persecution is coming upon the real Christians and real Christian churches. Those fake churches who have chosen to embrace sin and welcome it in the doors do not have worry The government will leave you alone, but however there will be blood in the streets all over this once great land and if you have a gun they will come to take it and if you are a bible believing Christian they will put you in prison without a trial. If you resist they will simply shoot you, and if you are taken alive you will taken to a camp near where you live and you will never leave.  This alone will cause civil strife and those of us who believe strongly in the US constitution will resist with all we have. To quote George Washington;  "The thing that sets the American Christian apart from all other people in the world is that he will die on his feet rather before he will live on his knees."   That is nothing but truth, personally I have lived to long to be pushed around by a government that hates its own people Peter was told how he would die and he did not like the idea of dying, most of us hold onto the idea of living. Time is running out. The biggest reminder here is that when we do die, we need to have the Lord Jesus in our heart and if you do not then its to late.  Our hope and life is in Jesus, without Him there is no life worth living. When I go home I will see my loved ones who willing accepted Jesus. There is no other way into heaven unless once accepts Jesus into their heart. All other ways are hell bound. I cannot say it enough time is short, Personally I will be surprised if there is an election come November. Hang on folks it is gong to be rough ride.Whatever happens you have to prepare and be ready, So keep your back pack handy
